Our Story
The Soldier for Life – Transition Assistance Program (SFL-TAP) is a Commander’s Program and a Soldier’s responsibility. The program provides transition assistance services to eligible Soldiers with at least 180 or more continuous days of Title 10 active duty service, except for those in a training status. SFL-TAP helps all eligible transitioning Soldiers discover knowledge, skills, and resources necessary to be competitive and successful in the global workforce. SFL-TAP helps Soldiers make informed career decisions through counseling and employment assistance, building upon lessons learned in the Initial and Service phases of the Soldier Life Cycle.
Soldiers begin the transition process 18 months prior to transition or 24 months prior to their retirement, spreading requirements out over the course of several months using a distributive model (short-notice separations only are authorized a five-day consecutive class). Along with Soldiers, retired Army Soldiers, Army Family members, and Department of the Army Civilians are eligible for transition assistance services as well.
Going early and often to SFL-TAP is statistically proven to increase the chance of post-transition success for Soldiers. A study by Hiring Our Heroes found that Service members are two times more likely to get a job before leaving active duty if they start their job search at least six months or more before transitioning. This indicates that many SFL-TAP requirements need to be completed much earlier in order to begin the job search at this six-month mark with the documents and knowledge needed to successfully search for open positions.
The Army transformed the way Soldiers transition in order to give them the greatest opportunity for a successful and productive post-service career. The Department of Defense (DoD) mandated Career Readiness Standards (CRS), which incorporate Veterans Opportunity to Work (VOW) Act Requirements. All transitioning Soldiers must meet CRS prior to transition. The final requirement for CRS is Capstone, which culminates the transition process. The following are the 12 CRS requirements:
